What to expect and your daily tasks:* Cooking (Our Top Priority): You will cook dinner every evening for me and my daughter (and for yourself if you join us). Preparing delicious meals daily is our most important expectation.* Cleaning & House Chores: You will be responsible for general house cleaning, maintaining common areas (like the shared bathroom and kitchen), dusting, and helping with all daily household chores to keep the home tidy.* Pet Care: We have a cat. Sometimes we look after other cats. You will be responsible for feeding them and cleaning their litter boxes.* Language Practice: You will do English conversation practice with my daughter during the day.* Schedule & Benefits: 4 hours a day for 5 days a week (2 days off). You get a private room, high-speed Wi-Fi, laundry access, and 3 meals daily.
For us, the most important thing is cooking dinner every day and keeping the house clean and tidy. You are completely free to manage your own 4 hours of work; as long as the jobs are done, you control your schedule. Your tasks include cooking, tidying up the kitchen, loading the dishwasher, sweeping/mopping, dusting, and keeping the living room, shared bathroom, and balconies clean. We also expect you to help with light ironing when needed. We clean our own bedrooms, so we expect you to be a responsible person who keeps your own room and the common areas clean. Also, you will handle the food, water, and litter boxes for our cat (and occasionally one or two guest cats). Since my daughter is home in the evenings and on weekends, you can naturally practice English during daily routines like setting the table and cleaning up. Once you are done, you can enjoy your free time.
